Carlos Miranda and Olviia Ortiz take home individual honors while the Fort Myers boys and Estero girls are victorious in the team standings.

The Lee County Athletic Conference, held for the first time ever at Dunbar HS went great last night.  The weather was hot to say the least which would indicate slow times to come right? Incorrect the times were as blazing as it was hot out. To no one’s surprise the girls race was all Kacy Smith from start to finish.  

It was a soggy Saturday morning at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex home of the Disney Cross Country Classic. Over 20 teams from throughout the United States came to compete in the 5K event which went on Friday as well.

Estero's Aaron Rojas is gearing up for his senior season and hoping to lead his squad to back-to-back state championships. The Wildcats move up to 3A for the 2011 season with the likes of Belen Jesuit, Tallahassee Lincoln, and Fort Walton Beach. See how Rojas and his teammates have been preparing, his goals for the season, and which former Estero runner inspires him in this Cross Country Q&A.

Kacy Smith of Estero won the girls race and set a course record of 18:48 in the process.  She lead Estero to a perfect 15 point victory.  Cypress Lake's Trent Craig edged out Estero's Aaron Rojas by .27 (16:25. 20 to 16:25. 47).  But the Rojas led Estero boys won easily with 36 points: 2-7-8-9-10-(12)-(16).  Inside this article Kacy Smith reveals her secret diet for success.

Finally the new cross country season is upon us! We've had a few pre-season meets and jamborees and now its time to see what our pollsters think about each of the state classifications for the upcoming season. And just remember that this is all volunteer work that is done for the enjoyment of the sport!   *Update: 1A Girls have been submitted!*
